What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Exoskeleton. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. A strength

    Beedrill ex runs it in 32 of the 32 lists we have read, seen across 31 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    Mark J. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  4. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 914 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
